Fighters who fell the farthest in one fight

Brandon Thatch after getting upended by Bendo.

For sure that changed his fortunes radically, but I wouldn't pick him because he hadn't climbed that high to begin with. Some of the other fighters being mentioned had storied careers.

I nominate Anthony Pettis in his fight against RDA: he went seamlessly from looking like a GOAT candidate to looking feckless. And that loss cast a long shadow he never fully emerged from.

Try browsing the answers. They may give you some clue to possible interpretations of the OP.

Overeem fell outside the ring in the Kharitonov fight.

Any late stage KO. Weidman/Rockhold, Chuck/Evans, etc.

 

[modulus]

Fedor after the Werdum loss
Ken Shamrock after the war with Don Frye
Mark Kerr after the Fujita or Vovchanchyn loss
Phil Baroni after the 2nd Evan Tanner loss
Frankie Edgar after the Ortega KO or the Holloway loss
King Mo after the Bader loss

A lot of fighters have hat expiration date and when it hits, that jaw's cracked, they're a step slower or whatever, it' seems to go all down hill from there.
Of course then there are fighters like Jeremy Horn, Randy Couture, maybe Hendo, that don't have an appreciable drop off in their careers and have had long careers.

Any late stage KO. Weidman/Rockhold, Chuck/Evans, etc.

I don't agree with your general formulation. Weidman did take a steep fall when he lost the title, but that wasn't at such a late stage: he competed for years after that. On the other hand, Alexander Volkov's TKO of Alistair Overeem came at a very late stage in the latter's career, but he didn't fall especially far.

Conor vs Khabib

Khabib took everything from Conor and his fans, they’re still trying to cope lol.

Yes, he won his next fight.

Fighting is a merciless game. Nearly every fighter is one beatdown away from a rapid decline. So who fell the farthest and fastest in one fight?

Rory Mac v Ruthless?
T-Ferg v Gaehtje?
R3 vs Holm?
Silva v Weidman?

Reyes

 

[StonedLemur]

Chuck after this.

That was such a beautiful fuckin punch though.

 

[HHJ]

Reyes

the Jiri fight ended his career for sure.

but others fell from a higher place than he did.

 

[abject]

Jones when he got disqualified for ped abuse when he fought dc. Even though he had the testosterone levels of a 70 year old man in the first fight. He kept that win.

 

[7 others]

Tony vs Justin

 

[Van Daz]

I really don’t understand the question

As an example, Sir, Matt Hughes wasn't the same after fighting a train......
